    Congrats to the v5 release. This is a question about how to use Cookie and Piwik. Piwik is open source tracking software for websites. Under it's Persona Settings at the very bottom there's an option to place a cookie so that Piwik ignores your own visits on the website it is running on. That is of course very useful.

    Problem: The website in question is marked as favorite in Piwik. If I then enable the option to ignore my own visits while in Piwik backend, a cookie with the name "piwik_ignore" is placed. I then close and re-start Firefox two times. When I then re-visit the piwik backend, it again tells me that my visits are not being ignored, despite the "piwik_ignore" cookie still existing.

    I understand you can not give support for third party software but since this seems to be closely related to Cookie's behavior I thought I'd ask. And maybe you also use Piwik or heard from other users with similar issues.

    Cookie 5.0.1

    ping on this. Russell do you have any idea how this use-case could be dealt with?
